Each pot is unique.  As a similar process to Natural Ash Glazes, Ben III frequently places these finishes in the wood kiln to accentuate the colors as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece is hand-signed by Ben Owen III with year made (1996), and, is part of our \"Pots From the Past\" release.  An extraordinary NC pottery treasure to add to your collection!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ben Owen Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42340403380279,"sku":"Ben Owen III","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/8692\/3575\/files\/E19A8230-A48E-48D7-886E-3CFF5C9A1046_1_201_a.heic?v=1785356807","url":"https:\/\/store.benowenpottery.com\/products\/nautilus-bowl-in-multi-layered-glazes-8dia-ben-owen-iii","provider":"Ben Owen Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
